Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day

BE PROACTIVE:

- Habit of the Month- January Picture ChallengeEach month we are challenging Crossroads families to catch their students following our habits of the month. See below for more information regarding the January Habit of the Month and be sure to send pictures to Nickie.spencer@bullitt.kyschools.us for us to showcase our students being outstanding leaders!In the months of January we are focusing on Habit #5: Seek First To Understand Then To Be UnderstoodStudents that Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood listen before they talk. They value what other people have to say and their feelings. These students try to see things from the viewpoints of others. They listen without interrupting. They have confidence when voicing their own ideas and look people in the eyes when talking. Try to catch your student being a good listener or having empathy for others!
